It is great time Windows 10 is released and there are huge amount of hype everywhere on the internet. I am using Windows 10 from the beginning through the Insider program, and all I can say the Windows 10 is the greatest and the best OS ever made.
There are plenty of blog posts and articles about the Windows 10, and everybody who is using previous version of the Windows OS should upgrade to Windows 10. As soon as you upgrade you will see the difference and better experience in all aspects.
For this blog post I would show you how to install Windows 10 on Azure, and how to enable some of the great feature. So lets start.

Note: This User name should not be developer username, because you have some restriction for Administrator when developing Windows Application. For this reason I have defined bhrnjica_admin user name. My developer username will be bhrnjica, which will be defined later.

5. Define Cloud service name, DNS Name and Region. In this step it is also neccessery to open all port you will need. In my case I have opened the following port:

Remote Desktop – this is default without this port you are not able to connect to this machine.

PowerShell in case you are working on PowerShell.

MSSQL port if you are planning to install Microsoft SQL Server on this machine.

MySQL is you are planning to install MySQL server.

6. The last step is to enable some components to be installed on the virtual machine. You have option to include some Antimalware software as well as some Virtual Machine Agent.

7. After you click on the last OK button, wait some time (few minutes) and you should see the following status on you Microsoft Azure Portal.

Few days ago Microsoft launched Visual Studio 2015, the long waited release with tons of great features. In the last three years I held several sessions on Microsoft and Community conferences about some of the new feature in Visual Studio 2015, like new C# and VB compiler so called Roslyn, new JIT 64 compiler, Framework 4.6 , native Compiler, as well as great new Debugging and Profiling tools.

During daily development I am using Debug features a lot. First time I have opened Visual Studio 2015, I could not find Debug Exception option. Usually the option is under Debug menu.

Visual Studio 2013

Visual Studio 2015

After some researching I have found the option in Debug->Window->Exception Settings. Now the Exception Setting window is modless dialog, so you can set the option without interrupting debug process. Also there are powerfull filter to quickly find right exception you want to throw.

There is a great video about this feature which you can see here and see why Visual Studio team moved this option to Debug-Windows menu option.

Few days ago I had a strange issue in one of my Visual Studio 2013 solution. The Test project required functionality of System.Windows.Automation, and I have added assembly UIAutomationClient. When tried to run tests I got the folowing compiler error:

In Visual Studio 2015 when you try to connect to GitHub you may get the message “Could not connect to GitHub.com”. The problem for this could be that you didn’t include GitHub extenstion feature during installation of the Visual Studio.

1. During installation of Visual Studio 2015 GitHub Extensions must be checked. (See following picture).

2. Even if you have included this feature in to the installation, you may still get the error. Actually, for some reason you cannot log in to the GitHub. In that case go to https://visualstudio.github.com and download the installer and reinstall the extension. That was worked in my case.

For instruction of how to install extension you can find on the web page.

Now you can open Connection from Team Explorer and choose GitHUb Extension.

The Login page for GitHub appears. Log in to the GitHub and start using GitHub.
